India history and geography

Bhil refers to an ancient Indian style of painting.—Painting like most Indian art reflects the religious passion of the people, their joys and aspirations. It is also a documentation of the life and times, of kings and courts, nature, plants and animals. It is a celebration of colour, of festivals and all that is beautiful. India’s heritage of painting (e.g., the Bhil style) is a record of happy times and happy people who expressed their hopes and faith through their works of art.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
